Yah, he likes to run the truck up the sand dunes around here, tows his 64 chevelle around with it and runs it hard on the street to boot. He does have LS1 edit to reduce the TM and I gave him the servo out of my camaro when I replaced the stock transmission in my Z28. I also had a trans go in my stock 4L60E. I told him take it out and put it in your truck before I send it in for my core refund and he didn't want it. I guess we will see what happens if he decides to go through with the engine swap.

Very nice! I like the valve covers

Motors making alot of boost will sometimes allow the pulley to spin/back off the crank. Some people are lucky if the crank bolt backs off first. Others have lost both. Pinning it will lock the pulley in so it won't rotate on the crank.

It is not hard to do at all. You have to look at it this way: Out of the THOUSANDS of kits Magna Charger has sold, only 2 have had a problem.

Thanks for the compliments! I will keep you all posted of the progress, had to put it on the back burner for a few days. Too much work in the shop right now.

I'm freaking jealous man, that looks awesome! Where did you get the high temp paint? What do you apply it with, can or gun?

Man, I want one now. Just wish I could find one and have it put in for a decent price!
